Balance, Aerodynamics, Stability

With a 46mm depth, a 27mm width and a wind tunnel honed profile the C46 punches well above its weight. The C46 is the ultimate everyday aero wheelset, and strikes a perfect balance between weight, aerodynamics, and stability - even on the windiest days..

24 HOLE 2/1 LACING PATTERN

Found on all of our rear road wheels, this lacing pattern reduces wheel weight and promotes even spoke tensions, while maintaining excellent durability. Rear wheels feature 16 spokes on the rear drive side flange, paired with 8 opposing spokes. Due to the rear wheel dish caused by the cassette on the rear wheel, this orientation evens out spoke tension. It also reduces peak stress loads on the spokes and rim, as well as the fatigue cycle incurred in a traditional 24 spoke wheel - allowing a lower spoke count and lighter weight, without the durability issues and increased rim weights commonly associated with low spoke count wheels.

DRIVE MECHANISM

Rated to withstand 700 ft/lbs of torque! We reduced the pawl count to 3 instead of 6, for lower drag and weight, while still achieving and industry leading (for road hubs) 6 degree engagement. Relocated bearings, and a new freehub seal reduce freehub drag while coasting.

Warranty

Carbon road wheels feature a 2 year warranty on hubs, spokes, and assembly, and a two year warranty on the rims - rims must be used with Reynolds Cyro-Blue brake pads to maintain the rim warranty.
